Wordans is happy to offer a full line of blank apparel from the venerable Champion brand.
Champion was launched in 1919 as “The Knickerbocker Knitting Company”, with their focus on making extremely durable sweatshirts for university sports teams. Their early association with the University of Michigan Wolverines led to the name change that brought “Champion” and its easily recognizable “C” logo to the sportswear game. By the 1930s, Champion’s sweatshirts were gaining wide recognition for their warmth and toughness.
Throughout the next 65 years, Champion expanded its offerings to include much of what we have here at Wordans, gear that has appeared on the backs of top high school, college, and professional teams across the globe. By the 1990s, Champion was not only producing gear for NFL teams and the 1992 US Olympic Basketball Team, but they were also the exclusive maker of NBA uniforms… and had branched into retail.
After a brief period where they focused on their retail efforts, Champion went back to serving international professional sports in 2008, when they formed contracts to provide gear to the Wales National Football program, the Greek National Basketball team, and Premier League teams, among others. After giving way to some competitors in the early 2000s, Champion is back in a big way… and you can buy that pro-style sportswear here at Wordans.
